Looking for Challenging Physics Exercises? Any Recommendations?

AI Thread Summary
Several users recommend websites and resources for challenging 12th-grade physics exercises. The International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) problems are suggested, but the user seeks slightly easier challenges. Recommendations for books that contain difficult yet accessible physics problems are also requested. Participants emphasize the need for resources that strike a balance between difficulty and comprehensibility. Overall, the discussion focuses on finding suitable physics exercises that are challenging but not overwhelming.

Hello everyone!

My question is simple. Is there some website with really good and tricky physics exercises? I'm in 12th grade but I have also been studying and practicing by myself for some time now. I need 12th grade topics but with harder level questions. Any ideas would be great...

Thanks a lot.

But hey, I meant hard but not that hard. Can you lower the bar a little bit more? Also, any good books with the types of problems discribed that are mentioned would be appreciated. Thanks.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
